Sending Away the Poor: A Unique Chinese New Year Tradition

On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, a unique cultural tradition called "sending away the poor" is observed by many people in China. According to this tradition, families clean out the accumulated trash and junk from their homes and discard it, symbolizing the desire to be rid of poverty and bad luck. This practice, which has been passed down for generations, adds a special cultural flair to the Lunar New Year celebrations.

In a recent social media update, Chinese celebrity couple Yang Fan and Wang Yuming were spotted together in London, England. The pair, who have been in a relationship since 2021, were seen by a fan while visiting Kew Gardens, a popular botanical attraction in the UK. The sighting quickly went viral on Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter, garnering thousands of reactions and shares.
